'Telecommuting' In Formula 1
flewp writes "This New York Times article on Formula 1 racing gives some insight into the workings of one of the most high-tech sports on the planet — consider that a few years ago, Sauber's supercomputer ranked toward the top of all the supercomputers in Europe. The teams bring to each race dozens of mechanics, support personnel, etc.; but back at their home bases, perhaps thousands of miles away, countless more engineers work (with the help of gobs of computing power) to give each team that extra edge."
Hey asshole, I know this might come as a shock to you, BUT-- everybody has different tastes! Imagine that, someone having a different opinion than you on what constitutes "exciting." They must hold this fucked opinion only because they haven't heard yours, and of course instantly recognized your great wisdom, right? I for one think drag racing is exciting. You might not, since it's only a boring -- YAWN -- straight line. Yet the difference is, that drag race will get me laid, while you still sit at home wanking to pictures of Superbike drivers.
PS--when you actually get behind the wheel of ANY race car, 300+ horsepower, let alone a 500, God forbid a 700, 800, 900, 1000+ horsepower car, and after the short ride when you've finished mopping your piss out of the seat, please get back to me on your enlightened opinion of what you consider "boring" or "exciting."
